NIH research grant awarded to Washington University to study nerve regeneration mechanisms focusing on epigenomic regulation and multicellular interactions to develop therapies for spinal cord and optic nerve injuries.
Description
Research grant to understand the multicellular mechanisms by which injured sensory neurons activate pro-regenerative programs, focusing on epigenomic regulation and the microenvironment surrounding neuronal somas, including satellite glial cells, to identify targets to improve regeneration in CNS models such as spinal cord injury and optic nerve injury.
